Photography as a way of seeing beyond the norm.

24 Hours in Atina, Italy, a pinhole image by Don Lee

Don Lee considers himself an experimental photographer whose practice is strongly related to light and forms, and the emotions expressed through abstraction.

For its unconventional application of analogue photographic processes, camera-less photography offers the chance to peek into human consciousness, providing a new way of seeing. Combining surrealist approaches in camera-less photography and modern technologies, his experiments are conducted to render the forces behind the norm, amplifying the abnormality, surfacing the regularities hidden in the chaos beyond human constructs.

In a world with fewer certainties, his works — prints, photographs and moving images — aspire to provoke intellectual thinking and bring out a more personal, psychological and spiritual consciousness in response to the contingent nature of the present.
